Give the Gift of Solar

‘Tis the season for giving. We’re sure you’ve made your gift list and are checking it twice so we’ve got a few ideas for giving the gift of solar to brighten your recipient’s days. 

1. Solar Window Charger

In a world full of technology, social media and cat videos, we’re all looking for a way to keep our devices juiced and ready. With this fun gadget, you can charge up without having to plug into your home, saving you a bit of electricity. The best part is, it’s super easy to use. Just slap it on the window and let the sun do all the work.

2. Solar Powered Bike Lock

Keeping your bike safe is often just a matter of having the right amount of locks. Now there are Bluetooth-enabled, solar-powered smart locks that can charge your electronics, alert you to theft and more. We honestly couldn’t think of a better gift to give to the snazziest cyclist in your life.

3. Solar Backpack

Think about all the hours in a day you probably spend wearing a backpack. Now think about how much of that time could be used to charge things like your phone, tablets and even your laptop. That’s where a solar backpack comes in. Made with solar panels attached to them, these bags are great for the student or commuter in your life. Upgrade their style today with the backpack of the future, and watch their faces light up with joy.

4. Solar Powered Lights

It’s winter, which means there’ll be plenty of holiday decorations and festive lighting going up. This of course also means a probable spike in power usage, unless you’re using solar-powered holiday lights. Made with rechargeable batteries and LED bulbs, these lights are both safe and efficient. This makes them a deal compared to wasteful and potentially dangerous incandescent lights. So just throw them in your cart for the prime decorator in your life. And yourself too, if you’re the festive type.

5. The Gift of a Solar Home

No solar gift list is complete without paying it forward and referring your friends and family to own Sunrun solar homes of their own. The gift of solar is just what they need to enjoy savings on their electric bill year round. Plus they can potentially use those savings towards repaying you with a neat gift next year.

The best part is that everybody wins when they go solar — they get a great deal and you get $350 for each person who goes solar.* Here are some tips for getting the conversation started. Log in to mySunrun to refer your friends and family today.
